Back on 18th April this year I quilted one of the two RSC String flimsies I had made from the RSC String blocks I had been making for a long time. I used an idea I had seen in Cathy’s blog ( Crazy by Design), dividing my blocks into cool and warm colours. I put blue, green, brown and purple blocks together and called the quilt Cool Strings.
I love the pieced backing I made for this quilt, using some new fabric with an added vertical strip to make it wide enough for the quilt. The strip was a remnant I had from Helen, one of my Patchwork friends who had downsized into an apartment in February 2020 so was reducing her stash significantly. Sadly Helen died a few months after I finished Cool Strings so this quilt has some nice memories for me.
I know Barbara will love the colours in this quilt so I think it’s the perfect Christmas gift for her.
Linking up with Angela’s So Scrappy RSC 2021 blog.
